Residential Deck Permit & Construction Package – Pennsylvania
Designed and prepared a complete permit-ready drawing and pre-construction package for a custom residential deck addition in Pennsylvania.
The project featured a 14’6” × 10’ elevated deck with integrated stairs, a reinforced porcelain tile deck system by Mbrico, and modern Viewrail Express Cable Railing with metal posts.
Scope of work included:
• Site plan and permit drawings
• Deck framing and footing layout
• Stair and railing detailing
• Ledger and structural connection details
• Material quantity takeoff and budgeting sheet
• Coordination with IRC residential deck code requirements
The design was developed to support future construction planning, accurate material ordering, and smooth permit approval while maintaining a clean and functional outdoor layout integrated with the existing porch and driveway conditions.
an architecture site for a studio that only builds where the weather decides.
The brief I set myself: make it feel like a set of drawing sheets. Every section is numbered, ruled and labelled like a title block, and every project carries real data: altitude, build window, snow load.
The hero is a small code component. A datum line follows the cursor and reads the altitude live off the scale.
Built in Framer. Still polishing motion and mobile.
The drawing-sheets brief is such a charming concept for this site, Bright. That datum line reading altitude live off the scale in the hero is the perfect detail to anchor the whole thing.
